Atwood published her first work in 1961, a book of poetry that won the E. J. Pratt Medal. Throughout the 1960s, Atwood continued to write while working as a college lecturer at several universities in Canada, publishing a number of popular novels, articles, and poetry volumes into the 1970s, several of which won awards. It was not until the 1980s, however, that Atwood's career truly took off, particularly with the publication of The Handmaid's Tale in 1985, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and Cat's Eye in 1988. Atwood continued to write successful novels, though her next most notable achievement came in 2000 with the publication of The Blind Assassin, which won the Man Booker Prize and was widely lauded by critics. In 2017, The Handmaid's Tale was made into a TV series, which Atwood advises on, and in 2019 she published The Testaments, the long-awaited sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. Historical Context of The Testaments Margaret Atwood admitted in several interviews that the presidential election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the political divisiveness that plagued the United States in the following years influenced the writing of The Testaments, though she flatly denies that America has yet adopted any sort of significant authoritarianism resembling Gilead.
Now to the problem. They just have one major publisher signed on: HarperCollins. To be fair: the service is new, new, new, and launched just over a month ago. But while HarperCollins publishes a lot of books, having one publishing house leaves Scribd feeling a bit like a house organ. As you wander through the books, it's pretty much all HarperCollins. So no dipping into Made to Stick, by Chip and Dan Heath, while waiting for a train or any Malcolm Gladwell during a last-minute bit of book browsing before the flight attendants tell you to power down. A little weird but, hopefully, that will change soon. Though I haven't heard back from Scribd yet on the who's-signing-on-next-front, they've done some interviews recently that make it clear that, yes, they're working on it. So I'll cut the service some slack. But if I hit a month where I don't want even a single book that they have on offer (which, really, I doubt since HarperCollins' Agatha Christie offerings could keep me very happy on flights for the next year), I'm out.

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017 Size: 10 Verified Purchase For a pair that is $70+ you'd think the quality would be there, but apparently the rollerblade market is now more expensive than the ice skating market. The average inline hockey style blades cost more than my mid range Bauer ice skates. Anyway here's some good things about these blades. Pros: - Rides smooth for low end roller blades, easy to do sharp turns, stops, skate fast, and use for hockey. - Wasn't a ton of money. - Easy to put on, has laces, strap and top buckle to get a good fit. - The boot itsself is pretty sturdy feeling, you can take a good beating and probably not ruin these skates too quickly. - The boot around the feet is comfortable enough, the padding is plentiful, expect in the high ankle and top of boot area. Cons: - The break is removable but you need to purchase washers to make the bearings fit, which is really annoying because breaks are useless anyway.
